Benefits of CGM

Unlike a blood glucose meter (BGM), which provides just a single glucose reading, CGM systems provide real-time, dynamic glucose information every five minutes — up to 288 readings in a 24-hour period. You can gain valuable insight about your glucose levels, speed, and direction giving you additional insight to proactively manage your diabetes.

A1c Reduction: CGM has proven to be the best outpatient glycemic management system for reducing A1C. Type 1 diabetics have experienced an average A1C reduction of 1.3%**.

Reduced Hypoglycemia: Not only can CGM reduce A1C, numerous studies have shown it can also decrease time spent in hypoglycemia1-3

Alerts and Alarms: CGM Systems are equipped with alerts and alarms that notify you of approaching highs and lows
